The Manly, New South Wales-based company did not reveal the worth of the acquisition in its news release on Tuesday.

Solar Choice launched the multi-stage project back in 2013 and took a 25% in the specialized growth vehicle when US-based SunEdison became its companion in 2015. A year later, First Solar replaced SunEdison as Solar Choice's partner in the ambitious system.

Bulli Creek is readied to be installed 140 kilometres (87 miles) southwest of Toowoomba in southern Queensland. The picked site, spanning approximately 13,000 acres (5,261 ha) of livestock grazing land, lies on the course of the Queensland - New South Wales interconnector.

The big PV complicated will be coupled with energy storage capability, Solar Choice said. As soon as the whole ability comes to be operational, the solar park will certainly be capable of producing adequate power for 700,000 houses a year.
